I heard there is another track owners meeting coming up soon. And it's been sooo quiet in here lately ;D ;D ;D
Ever so often, I get inquires from modern muscle cars owners about drag racing. They seem sincerely interested in getting involved with the weekend bracket racing scene, but seem to become somewhat discouraged when they realize they have to start out in a PRO class. As most of them have cars capable of running 12-13 seconds in street trim. Some of these folks do play at the track on Tuesday nights.
Although "we" know every class has it's seasoned racers, most beginners (including some of the regular Tues night racers) have the feeling that the street/sportsman class would be much more suited to them while starting out as a new bracket racer.
Therefore: I am recommending that the track owners should at least discuss the idea of over lapping the Street/Pro ET breaks for those folks.
Street/sportsman ( 12:00 & slower ) recommended
Pro ( 13:49 - 11.00 ) newly changed already.
While I'm on here pleading for changes......I would like to thank the track owners for changing Pro down to 11:00's. I was taken by surprise that it actually happened.
The only other thing I would like to see is an overlap placed between Pro & Super Pro.
Just so the folks who's cars hover around the 11:00 break can pick either one class or the other to stay in for the entire points season. Instead of starting out running S/Pro numbers in the spring cool air....then back to Pro for the hot/humid Summer.....then back to S/Pro for the Autumn cool air again.
Pro is OK now at ( 13.49 - 11.00) newly changed already.
S/Pro just needs to go back to ( 11.49 & faster) the way it was until just recently.
This is only an opinion.....like it or not......I think it could be good for the sport.
Cheers......Travis Livingstone.........(Pro846).... but hope to become S/Pro 846. ;D ;D ;D
